Morphology

incorrupt = corrupt (transparent) = in + corrupt

This is a straightforward negative-prefix formation meaning 'not corrupt'.

Etymology

Incorrupt is made of in- 'not' and corrupt 'spoil or make bad'. So it means 'not spoiled', which is why we call a very honest or moral person incorrupt.
